Oh Sharon! I usually like her big ass mouth tons and damn, I just gave the lady props for deciding to remove that big rubber band around her tummy but this time, she's gone a bit toooo far. I just read on Popbytes that she was on Howard Stern's radio show and said all this nasty stuff about Madonna and the situation with her impending adoption of baby David. Before Sharon opens her mouth and flaps her gums with her opinion about the situation, she should be better informed and do a little research about all Madonna is doing to help the children where David is from. Dumbass!

What Sharon said to Stern:

"Please give me a break, it is like getting a louis vuitton handbag. It is a crock of shit. If she wants to help the kid she should have got the father a little trade going, a fruit stand or something like that and built him a mud hut. If the kid is sick then get him a doctor, what was the father supposed to do, he can't read or write. She should have left him in his own culture, that is what i say. Madonna should have given the money to an orphanage, got them a 24-hour paramedic. She bought a baby for god's sake."

What the fuck had Sharon Osborne EVER done to help mankind? Nothing! BTW, I think she should leave the child-raising to those who know what the hell they are doing. She has sone a SHIT job raising her OWN kids. Look at her cracked-out family. Whatever.

Tinkerish made a great point. Plus, if anyone watched the Madonna interview on Oprah, Madonna also said that she was told the child did not have ONE visitor since the day he was dropped at that orphanage...I'm assuming that includes his father.

The father of Madonna's adopted orphan has dismissed as a lie the singer's claim on TV that his wife and other children died of AIDS.

Yohane Banda, 32, whose wife died aged 25 after giving birth to 13-month-old David, says he will now have to live with the stigma.

The African peasant farmer also denied the superstar's allegation that he had never visited his son at the orphanage, to which he was entrusted at the age of two weeks.

Speaking on the Oprah Winfrey Show last week, Madonna, 48, said when she met David at the orphanage in Malawi she was told his mother and three siblings had died of AIDS, while his father's whereabouts were unknown.

But Mr Banda, who lives in the village of Lipunga, close to the border with Zambia, said: "She never went for an HIV test and she died in Zambia at her parents' house, so how could anyone know if that is what she died of?"

The clinic she attended when she became ill during pregnancy had diagnosed anaemia, he added.

Later, when she was admitted to hospital in Malawi, he was told she had a physical condition that made childbirth very risky.

Mr Banda insisted he had two other children - not three as Madonna was told - one of whom had died of malaria, while the other died suddenly at 18 months from an unknown cause. Neither was HIV positive as far as he knew.

Mr Banda said he was worried that if people believed Madonna's claims, they would stigmatise him.

In the TV interview, Madonna said David had been abandoned by his family. "No one from his extended family had visited him since he arrived," she told Oprah. But Mr Banda insisted this was also "a lie", adding: "I visited David many times, too many to count."

The baby was also visited by his grandmother, while Mr Banda's brother, Profera, "saw him almost every day, sometimes twice a day".

Despite his anger at the slurs, Mr Banda refused to blame Madonna and instead accused the orphanage of giving her "false information".

However, an official at the Home of Hope Orphan Care Centre insisted: "We gave her no such information," and instead pointed the finger at Malawi's Ministry of Gender and Child Welfare.

Meanwhile, although David has been in the UK for less than two weeks, Madonna has introduced him to her Kabbalah faith.

The move is likely to upset Mr Banda, who was told his son was going to "a very nice Christian lady". Madonna took the toddler to the Friday night Shabat ceremony at the Central London Kabbalah Centre, and invited other children to "come and play with baby David".

The boy even wore the Kabbalah red string bracelet, believed by followers to ward off evil spirits.

I don't see how David's father could be stigmatized by an AIDS death, whether his wife died of that or not. And it sounds like she died of childbirth complications. But we hear how AIDS is so common, why would the village judge him?

Madonna is selfish... but one child benefits.

Overall it's getting too much media coverage. I would rather she adopt no kids and start child centers here and in the countries of her choice and make a difference for thousands of children with her millions of dollars.

Outside of my obvious dislike of her, everything she does is self-serving. She keeps no TVs in her kids' bedrooms, yet her early career and much of it since has been drenched in sex. She is a hypocrite and the worst kind. A rich hypocrite.

I think even less of Sharon O now. She is an ASS for talking about other people she ought to know better. Selfish people don't give away millions even if she if worth millions. There is no law that says because you are rich you have to give to the less fortunate. I applaud Madonna!As far as the adoption--the truth is NO ONE REALLY CARES!Africa has been defecated on since the 18th century. Rich WHITES have stolen natural resources, humans and the culture. Africa (for the most part) has been reduced to a disease ridden nation.SO WHAT if a rich & famous white woman is actually paying for something and not stealing it like so many BEFORE her!I can bet you if Madonna adopted a baby from a Russian orphanage you would not hear all this nonsense.Please be responsible and learn your history.Have any of you given a dime to Africa? Has Sharon?I have!
